When Kennard got the ball in his hands, it got loud af in there lol. And when he hit the shot, the stadium sounded louder than a LA home game 😂😂

Dang someone called out sick this time

Luka selling out tickets in an opposing teams home stadium is crazy

People here will never get this. No matter how good or bad the lakers are, they will always get everyone’s best and all the eyes. 

I ain’t getting up to watch some random team in a the middle of bumfuck nowhere. 

Shout out to Orlando Lakers fans

I should have went 

I was at the game. It was basically a Lakers game. Loudest the building got was for Bron fastbreak dunks. The crowd pop on Kennard’s game winner was deafening. When everybody was leaving there was “Let’s Go Lakers” chants back and forth across the entire place.

Dirk was also there, for some reason

It’s LeBron and Luka, makes sense

Some fans of other teams wonder why the Lakers are always talked about, even when they’re bad.

The most popular basketball team on the planet will always generate higher views, ticket sales, ratings, and clicks… some of which are fueled by haters who watch just to hate. 😜

How could that be real though. They built it in 2010…

They’ve only sold out for 1 game in 16 years?

And despite how “this big” the 3 seeded Regular Season Lakers are, there was a seat empty today?

Voting works

So I looked up the Kia Center on wiki, says their capacity during NBA games is 18,846. So do they somehow add 800 more seats from somewhere when they want to?

It’s not about the Lakers tbh, it’s about LeBron

Maybe he plays next year, maybe he doesn’t, but for a lot of people in every city he doesn’t play in, this could be the last chance to see him in person

Sorry guys, I forgot to go this year

but why does the media keep talking about the Lakers?!

You’re welcome Orlando

i get it. people can only afford to watch the lakers when they’re on the road. always liked the alt uniforms better anyway

No surprise. You can find 10 Lakers fans down the back of your sofa.

Luka and the Lakers are must-watch TV.

One guy got divorced since last year used to go with his wife cant even have a nice win against the Lakers to get over the breakup

Dave McMenamin is as much a part of the Lakers as the players and coaches.

Bill McDonalds said they couldn’t make out who the crowd was cheering for because half the stadium was shouting a different team lol

Sry guys I didnt have 300 bucks to tie it, all of it went to gas and RAM

When the Lakers won the challenge and got the ball, and pit was so loud that I almost forgot we were on the road…

check the Laker road attendance every year

Chuck Norris was at that game last year. I got a picture with him.

Luka Magic

It’s easy being an out of town lakers fan desire never even going to LA

Our fanbase is lukewarm. We haven’t won a playoff series in 15 years or so, a whole generation removed from prime Dwight, with our best players since usually being hurt. The concourse is average, with average food and an underwhelming gameday experience. Not to mention the location with I-4 traffic, why would they show up?

ok does mean they’ve never like actually sold out a game? did they recently up capacity?? how does that work

Your favorite team’s favorite team.

You would hope the playoffs would be different but the conditions and circumstances are still the same with access to those games. Its sad crowds dead most of the time unless its a clipper matchup in the regular season. Last time post Kobe era ive seen the crowd go crazy was when Bi dueled KD against the future championship warriors into OT and KD and Curry just flipped the switch when needed. Since then the few games ive seen the only times the crowd is intense was a Clippers matchup.

Wait, teams don’t sell out at least once a season???

20k LA folks moving to Orlando seems very plausible lol

Luka Kennard

I mean, a lot of people also want to see Bron before he retires. And this is the game he breaks the Robert Parish record for number of regular season games played.

I’m surprised that the record doesn’t belong to Knicks vs Orlando games.

This is definitely a pretty common theme at a lot of stadiums. Happens a lot at Barclays Center, in part because of how many transplants from other cities live in NY and how few Nets fans there are left.

And every time, without fail, Tim Bontemps will tweet out, “The MVP chants for (star player) at Barclays Center are louder than they are at (star player’s home stadium) right now now. Wow.” Prick.

(I may not root for the Nets as much anymore but Bontemps always does that and it always rubs me the wrong way, it’s like he’s bitter from his time as a Nets beat reporter.)
